Pihllm by Che Yard
(Harper's Weekly.)
Is the American spirit of commer
cialism invading even the English
market for artistic wares? A poet's
recent advertisement in the London
Dally News, seeking a speculative pub
lisher for a "translucent, attractive
and apothegmatlc lyric," has already
aroused some comment, and now they
appear to be selling the; paintings of
the leading contemporary artists by
the square inch. The announcement
of a- sale at Christie's Bays a paint
ing by the late T. S. jCooper, entitled
"Sheep Shearing," and measuring 48x72
Inches, was sold for 310 guineas, while
another, representing "Six Cows on the
Bank of a River," and measuring 29x44
Inches, painted In 1877, brought 300
guineas. This Is Interesting. It seems
to Indicate that good painting is worth
something between 30 cents and IL25
per square Inch in London; while, es
timated as live stock, the six cows in
the latter picture appear to have been
valued at SO guineas each, despite
their advanced age, which precludes
the possibility of their being useful for
other purposes than landscape orna
mentsalthough this is perhaps min
imizing the value of the riparian rights
along the river. What a wealth of con
jecture these facts suggest! Think of
the prices that some of the enormous
Munkacsy canvases would bring if
sold on this basis, and of the possible
value of Rosa Bonheur's "The Horse
Fair" with stallions at Tattersall
prices! Let the artist remember to
stretch his canvas wide enough, or, if
he be an animal painter, to put in a
sufficient number of marketable beasts
and there will speedily be an end of
the cryef the underpayment of artis
tic endeavor.

NEW GERMAN M. E. CHURCH AT FIFTEENTH AND M STREETS.
German Methodists last Sunday ded
icated their handsome church building
recently erected at Fifteenth and M
streets. Exercises in both German and
English were features of the day and
nearly every pastor connected with
the work joined with Rev. J. Demand,
the pastor-in charge. In celebratlng-the
event.
German exercises were given in the
morning. In the afternoon the services
were in English, while there was a
monster Epworth league rally In the
evening.
Thirty-three years ago Rev. H. M.
Menger established the German mis
sion A small chapel was erected on
lots donated by the state. The mem-

mand.
The cost of the new church has been
estimated at between $10,000 and
$15,000,
The mission was organized in 1869.
It became a part of the Nebraska dis
trict, west German conference, In 1878.
About this time the parsonage was
built. During the past year the par
sonage has been enlarged and re
modeled. A London physician suggests the run
ning of motor cars at a speed fully up to
the legal limit as a means of adminis
tering the open air treatment to con
sumptives. A London school teacher received the
following letter from the father of one. of
her pupils: "Dear Teacher: Please ex
cuse Fritz from staying home: He' had
the measles to oblige his father."
